I haven’t posted for awhile. For that I am apologize. These days are the last few days leading up to final exams. I have been cramming last minute in order to finish group projects and studying. I also got a new room. Over the past 12 months I have migrated to different places about 7 times. I am finally happy to have a place to settle down at. It is great because it is clean and quiet. It even has a bed and an internet connection!

Following exams, I will take a summer Korean language class that is offered by Korea University. This spring we learned the first 9 or 10 chapters of the textbook. This summer will do the remaining lessons.

<i>*BASAA Scholarship</i> Anyong friends! I am Brandon Morrissette. I study Finance at Plymouth State University. In the past before college, I worked in the hospitality industry. I was born and raised in a small rural town in the far northern part of New Hampshire. I will study two semesters at Korea University in Seoul. My goal from this experience is to be able to read, write, and speak Korean language at a fourth grade level. I want to travel to all places in Asia. This is because at work I met many friendly, interesting people from that continent. I chose Korea in particular as the result of gentle persuasion from my Korean friends. My favorite academic subject is economics. When I am not studying for my classes, I enjoy learning about Buddha and Confucius. I intend on doing many temple visits. In Korea, I look forward to being reunited with a co-worker who is really dear to me and that I have not seen for 5 years. In addition to seeing old friends, I look forward to meeting many new ones. I also look forward to eating delicious food in Korea. It is possible that I love food because I did not have the best food when I was a growing up. After study abroad and graduation, my goal is to financially support my whole family.
